Lost money in the end
Long movie short:
One guy on a hardware forum recommended me a low-budget pc-mouse ( rhorse FC-5150 ) that was incredibly cheap , worked nice and was really sturdy.
Went to DX and bought two units.
One of 'em arrived damaged so i had to request a refund ( it was a quick & painless process ) ... bad luck , thought to myself ( although the packaging was really poor to be honest, i'm amazed not all those mouses arrive in little pieces ) .
One relative needed a really cheap mouse... and since the other unit worked fine, talked to him about it... and ended up buying a third unit of this rhorse mouse.
On the meanwhile, needed to buy another mouse for myself, so i ended up buying a different one ( just in case ) that was slightly more expensive ( Qisan X5 ; this one is a really nice one ! still using it right now ) .
The third unit of the rhorse mouse arrived , and worked fine.
A few months passed, and my unit of the rhorse mouse started to malfunction. Asked my relative if he was experiencing the same issues... but his worked fine.
One more month and had to discard my other rhorse mouse as well. It was too late to complain since it lasted like 4-5 months.
Short after that... the rhorse mouse from my relative started malfunctioning the same way too!!! eventually he had to discard it and buy a new one.
Once again, it failed like 4-5 months after ... same defect ( the left-clic started to work in turbo-mode all by itself, so one click was like doing so 10 times ) so in the end, we ended up losing money with it.
Having items that stop working properly just a few months after makes you feel defenseless... and on this particular case, even if i complained they'd think i'm a scammer , etc... after all, it was three units of the same mouse model... but i could never foresee such horrible results... not for an item like a pc-mouse .
Have had all kind of ultra-cheap mouses since the early 90s ( i even have some working ones in store ) and none of 'em failed like these rhorse mosues ... this was by far the worst experience i've ever had with such item... so can't say i'm happy.
